IF you loved this film, you should give "Dave" a try. Another great President movie.
I took my grandmother to see DAVE.
It's a must.
I concur!
Yes! It's perhaps less of a rom-com because of the situation that Dave is in, but Kevin Kline plays such a kind and decent man that I think you will find him very appealing.
I have to second (or fifteenth or eighty-second) the recommendation of Dave. It's such a fun little lighthearted (for the most part) take on similar territory and Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, and Charles Grodin are all wonderful!
playing "Hail to the Chief" sarcastically at your father who is literally the president is peak teen
Probably the sickest burn any teenager could ever give a parent.
Michael J Fox's performance as Lewis was the seed that led to Spin City, a humorous political sitcom that highlighted Fox's talents tremendously well.
Wasn't Wendie Malick on the Spin City cast, too? She was in this film, playing one of Sydney's co-workers/friends.
@@DeinedShe was not in Spin City.
@@richardvinsen2385 Mike Flaherty. Deputy Mayor of New York in Spin City..actually meets up with a real blowhard called Alex P. Keaton.
There's a movie called Dave from 1993 with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver you may like as well. It's a romantic comedy/drama about the president.
This movie is what inspired Sorkin to make “The West Wing” and several of the cast members here are in that show.
He reused the Lybian janitorial staff line again, but let's face it that was a great line
Thanks, I always wondered about that. It was easy to imagine that the movie could have inspired the TV series. They are very similar in tone and 'feel.'
So accurate was the Oval Office set constructed for this film, it was reused for the west wing.
There were others that were in the other collaboration between Sorkin and Tommy Schlamme "Sports Night".
@@madpadukNot quite. Sorkin reused the line asking about the virtue of a proportional response, but the emotions behind it are totally opposite. In the movie, Pres. Shepherd is concerned about civilian casualties, like the hypothetical Libyan janitor. In the show, Syrian Air Defense bombs a U.S. transport plane carrying Pres. Bartlet’s personal physician, and he’s pissed off and wants to basically level Syria to the ground (a military aide asks him if he wants to “carpet-bomb Damascus”). Bartlet wants a “disproportional response,” until Leo talks him down.
"My name is Bob Rumson, and I'm running for president. I'm Andrew Shepherd, and I AM the president." I love this closing speech, plus Douglas and Bening have excellent chemistry.
Michael Douglas, Annette Benning, and Martin Sheen play their roles very well in this movie. However, this movie really shows the versatility of Michael J Fox, an actor robbed of so many more performances due to Parkinson's disease. Back to the Future launched him into the movie landscape while Family Ties introduced him to American audiences through television. Other films kept him in the family-friendly genre for a while, such as Teen Wolf and Doc Hollywood. This film and his trip into horror with The Frighteners showed that Michael can play the very serious roles. Homeward Bound and Atlantis the Lost Empire showcase his voice acting ability. Spin City forever stands as his best adult role on TV. He now stands as an example of never letting a physical challenge from stopping him from speaking out and moving towards finding a permanent end to every neurological disease and disorder.
Secret of my Success was another great one I love to watch every so often.
It's a shame The Frighteners didn't catch on.
Doc Hollywood is great
He was great in this. This was right before his symptoms got more extreme. Must've been a scary time.
The performance he gave was spectacular, and watching this reaction I just realised it took 2 actors in the West Wing to almost match it and those were both very good actors.
Michael J Fox was a massive talent as an actor and is a wonderful human being.
As soon as I saw this, I thought "Oh, she is going to LOVE this movie."
How can you not? It's just a great film with a stellar cast and awesome dialog.
100000%
Just a sweet heartwarming film. My mom likes it a lot. Being a Sorkin penned film, there’s lots of standout dialogue. Two such lines I always get a kick out of being Shepherd’s line, “You think there’s a florist in there planning an assassination on the off chance that I MIGHT be stopping by?” and at the end when A.J. asks how Shepherd plans to win Sydney back, Shepherd admits, “Well, I haven’t worked that out yet. But I’m sure that groveling will be involved.”
Love them all. So many memorable one-liners in this film. “Let’s take him out back and beat the $h1t out of him!!” 😅 and I always get pumped when he says “My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I AM the president!” 😅😊Great movie
Also 100% a dry run for Sorkin producing The West Wing - at least 2 actors from which were in this film.
@@mnomadvfx At least 4, but I think I’m forgetting someone.
There are so many great lines you can't even list them all. I love Louis Rothchild's line at the florist "No hopping sir".
Definitely one of my favorite movies ❤🥳
If you liked this one, you should really put Dave on the list. It's so good.
Totally Agree. Dave is a fantastic political rom on., which I probably like more the this one.
I second this.
That line 'I'm just a girl standing in front of a guy ...' is from Notting Hill. Always loved this movie.
I had to take a few seconds to remember where that line was from. I was going rush and put it in the comments but I always go through them to make sure I’m not repeating what someone else has already answered.😊
18:34 " 'What About Bob.' That's -- That's that guy, that's -- Right?" Yes. That's Richard Dreyfus. You've also seen him (much earlier in his career) in Jaws as the marine biologist from out of town who ultimately joins the sheriff on the fishing boat.
"I am just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love me" That would be Notting Hill. And I would love to see your reaction to that one whether you've seen it or not. Such a great romance comedy.
I’m surprised she hasn’t seen it! It seems like such a Cassie movie!
@@Bdixon9158 She's *_got_* to have seen it, right? I think she's just forgotten that particular scene. And I second the motion of having her react to it, even if she's already seen it! 👍👍
Would be a good movie for the sisters to watch together! 🙂
"Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1939.b&w), traditionally considered a classic and major romantic-comedy-drama with a political twist. The film is #29 on AFI"s top 100 list, starring James Stewart and Jean Arthur and directed by Frank Capra of "It's A Wonderful Life" fame. You'll never finish your "catching up on the best movies ever" until you've seen this one.
Sydney has a capraesque moment in this film, luckily the security guard understood the reference.
63 percent was great in the 90s.
It'd be OUTSTANDING today.
I don't know how long its been since the president cracked 50%. Not just the current one, ANY of them.
Michael Douglas has not only been in a number of great films, he also produced the Oscar winning movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." He is the son of Hollywood royalty, actor Kirk Douglas, who had a tremendous career. An old classic movie you might like which mixes politics and romance is "Mr Smith Goes to Washington. "
Oo yeah. Might need to rewatch that. Missing some Jean Arthur sass in my life.
They mention mr. smith goes to Washington in this movie.
Key Michael Douglas films include "Coma" (1978), "The China Syndrome" (1979), "Romancing the Stone" (1984), "Fatal Attraction" (1987), the ORIGINAL "Wall Street" (also 1987; the Shia LeBoeuf is a sequel), and "The War of the Roses" (1990).
Everything from nuclear holocaust to a bitter divorce. So basically the same stuff.
Also, "Shining Through" a hilariously botched attempt at a World War II "drama". Notable for famed film critics Siskel and Ebert pretty much cracking up as they tore it a bevy of holes in their review show.
Doing the research for this movie is what got Sorkin to write The West Wing. He had so much information about how American politics in D.C. work, and so many ideas for stories about these characters, and no way to fit it into a 2-hour film, so he pitched it as a TV series. You can absolutely see who all of these characters become: AJ (played by Martin Sheen who becomes Jed Bartlet) becomes Leo (same name as Sydney's boss); Mrs. Chapel (President's secretary) become Mrs. Landingham; Louis (Michael J Fox) is a hybrid of Josh and Sam; Leon (David Paymer) becomes CJ, and so on. Beyond Martin Sheen's promotion, Anna Deveare Smith, who plays Robin McCall here, played Nancy McNally on West Wing; Nina Siemazko (Sydney's roommate) played Bartlet's middle daughter, Ellie; Joshua Malina (whom you recognized from Scandal) played Will Bailey on West Wing, and so on. He referred to this as the dress rehearsal for West Wing.
This and Dave are the best presidents in love movies.
Yes! You beat me to it!
I love how you recognized Richard Dreyfuss from 'What About Bob?', rather than say, 'Jaws' or 'Close Encounter of the Third Kind'.
My favorite is Mr Hollands Opus
@@eshuorishas9987 "The Goodbye Girl" is a Dreyfuss/Marsha Mason/ Quinn Cummings romcom jewel. One of the best. Being a Neil Simon story helps. Dreyfuss won an Oscar for his role - at 30 years old.
How about from American Graffiti?
Richard Dreyfuss, who played Senator Rumson in this movie, also played the shark expert in Jaws. Spectacular actor.
Not forgetting, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind...we're getting into dangerous territory here..., when Actors could 'act' - & not work for Disney or Marvel....
Plus his academy award for The Goodbye Girl
And his academy award nomination for Mr Holkand's Opus
His adorable turn in "Postcards from the Edge" opposite Meryl Streep!
@@cpete2976 I wish someone would react The Goodbye Girl!
This one is so sweet. Do "Dave" next
I have always thought that you would love this movie. It is one of my favorites. The chemistry between Michael Douglas and Annette Bening is off the chart. Actually the whole cast was perfectly chosen. Thank you for watching it.
Great cast in this film. Annette Benning also stars in one of my favourite Harrison Ford movies, Regarding Henry, which I think you will absolutely love.
Add my vote for Regarding Henry - great movie.
Regarding Henry really is a tender well acted Harrison Ford showcase for his talent..
Okay, may I suggest "Dave" in the same vein. Great political romance.
You noticed that Bob Rumson was played by the guy from What About Bob? (Richard Dreyfus). He also played the oceanographer in Jaws.
For another Michael Douglas, I suggest Romancing the Stone. It's a comedy adventure romance co-starring Kathleen Turner.
"I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." That's from Notting Hill. If you haven't seen it, you definitely should! It's exactly your kind of movie... a charming, sweet, romantic comedy.
Also, to second what several others have commented- if you want another great presidential rom-com, you should check out Dave with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. It's a classic!
Just wanna let you know you're one of the few whose reactions I watch more than once. You always make me feel happy :)
Cassie you’re absolutely going to love this movie.
@@paulonius42lol. I was going to mention something similar, but I mentioned it on her weekly update of upcoming movies
@@paulonius42it ain't that deep, relax. He got excited
@sergioh336 Didn't say anything was deep. Don't need to relax. Shhhh.
The American President is one of my favorite movies of all time 🔥🔥🙌🏾
I forgot how much I love this movie. One of my favorite lines is near the beginning, when Sydney is at the WH for the first time.
Just before Shepard comes in, she's describing him as the "Chief Executive of Fantasy Land", then he comes in the room and says...
"Let's take him out back and beat the shit out of him"...
Oh BTW you might like "My Fellow Americans" staring Jack Lemon and James Garner.
Now that you've seen this, PLEASE 🙏check out "Dave" with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver.
Omg, I've never clicked on a TH-cam video more quickly! This is one of my family's favorite movies. So happy you liked it 😊
the fact that Cass only recognized Richard Dreyfus in What About Bob means that she needs to watch Mr Holland's Opus.
I highly recommend a reaction to Mr. Holland's Opus. Better have a full box of tissues nearby!
A movie that goes under the radar often is called "The Game" i saw it in theaters when it came out, If you want to see a thriller, def worth a watch. Douglas was pretty terrific in it.
One of the best movies (romances) ever made. The last press conference is epic. “My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I AM the president!”
heavy on the AM. Also I love this movie from my childhood lol.
should do Regarding Henry with Annette Bening and Harrison Ford, i think hardly anyone has done a reaction to that movie
That is a great movie. Way underrated.
Yes, Regarding Henry is a great movie.
There are people who truly love this country and aren't out for themselves. They never get past the primaries.
Might I suggest the movie Dave another presidential rom com staring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. You’ll definitely like it.
Thank you so much. I have been waiting so long for you to do this movie. "I am just a girl, standing in front of a boy..." Julia Roberts in Notting Hill, my favorite romcom.
You'd probably like *Romancing the Stone* (1984), too, another Michael Douglas movie, an adventure romance (my favorites).
War of the roases was good too .
Romancing the Stone is on Patreon now, coming to youtube soon
@@jonjohns65 Cool, thanks. A bit late, I guess, but apparently a solid suggestion anyway.
Jewel of The Nile is the sequel not as good but still a very good rom com
Can’t believe I missed this! I’ve been waiting years for someone to do a reaction to this movie. The comedy and drama both hit so well! Such a delight.
The line 'just a girl standing in front of a guy asking him to love her' is from the film Notting Hill.
The Contender with Jeff Bridges is another well done Presidential movie. I highly recommend it.
Great Movie. This was written by Aaron Sorkin. There are a number of actors who were in this who went on to feature in Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing:
Martin Sheen aka Jed Bartlett
Joshua Malina aka Will Bailey
Nina Siemaszko aka Ellie Bartlett
Anna Deavere Smith aka NSA Nancy McNally.
Thom Barry (the guard who knew about Kapra) as Mark Richardson, a wonderful character
Bob Rumson is played by the brilliant Richard Dreyfuss, who was the "college boy" oceanologist in "Jaws" as well as dozens of others.
That line, "I'm just a girl standing in front of a guy..." is from Notting Hill. Julia Roberts to Hugh Grant.
None of my fellow veterans, the blokes at my rugby club, or the guys at my boxing gym can ever learn that this film is a secret joy of mine!!
Why not? I'll bet it's a secret joy of at least a few of them too. Live your life, it they don't like it that's their problem and you're better off without them.
Everyone likes a good love story. And wants one for themself. This one has enough extraneous political stuff to keep it interesting.
@@ct6852 And if that story were to include Annette Benning 28 years ago, you couldn't go wrong there.
@@SeanBlader She was gorgeous. Still not sure what her actual hair color is, though.
Great reaction Cassie now the next president movie for PiB to watch is Dave! 😁
For years now, one of our favorite traditions has been watching the HBO miniseries, John Adams. It gives one appreciation for what our founding fathers, and John Adams particularly, faced before, during and after our inevitable break from Great Britain.
I just noticed ( after a dozen views) the president had his hand on her dress during the dance in the state dinner scene. That is class.
You should follow thiscup with Dave with Kevin Klein. Its even more heartwarming
Other Presidential movies i recommend: "Dave", "My Fellow Americans", and "My Date With the President's Daughters"(which is an oldschool Disney Channel movie 😂).
Not only was Richard Dreyfuss, the president’s opponent, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and in What About Bob but he was also the other survivor in Jaws (the young oceanographer).
Michael Douglas was in Romancing the Stone - A romantic action movie I'm sure you'll have seen.
Now *this* is right up your street, my movie watching friend :) And it was the movie that ushered Annette Bening into Screen Crush territory for me
I think you would like the movie Dave, too. Kind of similar. A little more comedy.
This is one of my favorite comfort movies, great writing, the acting is tremendous, Reiner did an excellent job directing, low key always in the mood to put this on, what a picture!
Every time I watch this movie )or a reaction to it), I'm reminded how many lines Sorkin took word-for-word and took it over to "The West Wing," along with half the cast.
This has been a favorite film of mine for a long time. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Michael Douglas was a main character in basic instinct. Rumson was the guy in Jaws.
Don't forget Michael Douglas was also the lead in "Fatal Attraction" That needs to go on the watch list as well! And bring Carly!
Love Basic Instinct.
This one, Dave, Wag the Dog, Bullworth, and Primary Colors are all great political films for various reasons.
I'm so happy that someone is finally watching this movie!
Great choice Cassie. This a classic movie. Annette Bening and Michael Douglas are amazing. Also, if you haven't; you should check out two other Michael Douglas movies. Basic Instinct (Sharon Stone) and Disclosure (Demi Moore) Excellent movies.
I have been waiting for you to react to this one because i just know you’re going to LOVE it
Our family's 4th of July tradition is making root beer floats. Fireworks and barbeque too, but it's the floats that make it unique.
This was one of only a handful of movies my mum owned on DVD so I know it backwards and forwards. I've come to appreciate it myself as a kind of precursor to 'The West Wing' which is one of my favourite TV series of all time. Aaron Sorkin wrote the script for this then went on to create the series casting Martin Sheen as the President and a few of the other actors in different roles.
Since you love Presidential movies with romance and humor, then Dave should be ext on your list! I believe you saw Micheal Douglas in Romancing the Stone with Kathleen Turner.
I really like Primary Colors.
Another good presidential movie you should se is My Fellow Americans with James Garner and Jack Lemmon
Hi, Cassie.
I'm glad Ben is doing better now.🙂
Also, congrats on you and Carly going to the Mission: Impossible movie premiere in the Big Apple 🗽🎉😁.
My gosh, seeing you and her in those awesome dresses and meeting Tom Cruise gave me an absolute smile on my face.
What an experience you two are going to relay to your loved ones for years to come.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm actually Canadian, and I live here, so I'll celebrate the 1st with this video along with my other actual Canadians!
This is my mother’s favorite movie. I always rolled my eyes whenever she wanted to watched it. But as I grew up, I too fell in love with this movie and we later watched the West Wing together.
A young Martin Sheen co-starred in a movie with Michael Douglas's famous father, Kirk Douglas and brother Peter Douglas: "The Final Countdown" (1980). Iconic theme song by pop band Europe.
If u liked this, you should watch "Dave". Its also a presidential RomCom.
Outstanding film. Next: DAVE with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. These are two great book-end films.
Seconded. Great cast, funny as hell.
Third! Dave is a great presidential movie!
I second this. The movies are great siblings.
This is the only movie where I didn’t mind the main character giving speeches
Richard Dreyfuss was in What About Bob also he was in Jaws. He was also in Down and Out in Beverly Hills which was very funny.
This movie was actually the inspiration for the West Wing series. It was originally pitched for Michael Douglas to star in it, but when he turned it down, Martin Sheen knocked it out of the park.
I also think the sitcom "Spin City" which came out a year after this movie where Michael J. Fox is a similar character except for the mayor of New York City.
The original concept of The West Wing was supposed to focus on the staff, and not so much on the President himself. If you take a look at the Pilot episode you will note that Martin Sheen only came in at the very last few minutes. It was his performance that prompted the writers to swing the camera in his direction and take notice, because he was definitely a force to be reckoned with. We should be glad that they did, one of the best TV shows of all time.
@@Greybeardmedic Yeah, TWW was meant to be the Sam (Rob Lowe) and Josh (Bradley Whitford) show. But Sheen put an end to that idea.
While the president dating a lobbyist isn't illegal it would be a conflict of interest
….back in the day when THAT would be considered a conflict of interest… we are well beyond that no
Micheal has been acting for close to 6 decades.has a successful career as both an actor and producer/director and has played on screen with some of the biggest names in hollywood.
Aaron Sorking who wrote that movie also wrote West Wing which had Martin Sheen as the president, it also had Josh Molina one of the presidents aids in that movie briefly in the TV show. West Wing came out in 99 this movie came out in 95. It makes you wonder if the success of this movie didn't catapult West Wing TV show to be created and almost over night success.
Please I beg you to watch "Dave" if you like this movie, you'll love the better president movie...lol
29:58 I always liked this scene :)
"VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE YOU CHICKENSHIT LAME-ASS-"
(slams the phone)
(Long pause)
"We lost Jarrett."
"I hope so. 'Cause, you know, if that was an Undecided then we need to work on our people skills."
This, the Game, and Wall Street cemented Michael Douglas one of my top 3 actors. I highly recommend the other 2 to watch!
The quote you were looking for is: “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a guy, asking him to love her.” It’s from Notting Hill
This was a GREAT movie! Your reactions were terrific as always!
I’ve watched this movie about 1,000 times. Love it.
Virtually everyone has!
This was on cable like every other day there for a while. Almost as much as Shawshank.
The "Girl standing in front of the boy..." line is from Notting Hill. If you haven't seen it you should react to it. It's another romcom from the 90s with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.
'Rumsun' the republican is Richard Dryfuss. Yes, he was in 'What About Bob' AND JAWS!
Finally! Been waiting for this one. Great performances all around. "I hired a pit bull Sydney not a prom queen!"
Such a good performance from John Mahoney
Michael Douglas was in the original 'Wall Street' movie in the 80s, a way better movie than the sequel.
*I've see Michael Douglas in the following: The Streets of San Francisco (TV show); Fatal Attraction; Basic Instinct; Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile (both super fun); The Star Chamber (suspenseful); also suspenseful COMA; Black Rain.* These are all good movies. His dad was Kirk Douglas, the original Sparticus.
Michael DOuglas is the famous son of Kirk Douglas a famous actor from the 20th century . He costarred in "The Streets Of San Francisco back in the 1970s and was in Romancing the Stone with Kathlene turner, an action romance adventure that did well. He has been in so many movies since I cannot recount them all.
I was in a cheap gas station once and saw this DVD as a double feature with DAVE, which is another cute US president movie with Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver. It was $5. This was years before streaming was a thing.
'Dave' is such an underrated classic; one that I love going back & watching every year or two. Such an adorable, heartwarming movie; wish it got more attention from reactors!
Watch him in the "The Game" It will easily become a favorite movie of yours. Suggest that You and Carly would be able to share it. Enjoy!
A great underrated movie! I have to watch it once a year.
@@susanalexander6721 I sure hope enough people jump on the band wagon and bring it to her attention.
"Girl standing in front of a guy", the quote is. It is from Notting Hill, Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Absolute favorite romantic comedy. You are going to love it.
Okay, yes, Richard Dreyfuss played the bad guy, he was in What about Bob, he also played Hooper in Jaws.
A lot of these actors were also in West Wing.
A good 90s chick flick. If you want to see a great Michael Douglas chick flick, I can’t recommend Romancing The Stone more highly. Your sister would love it too. It’s like an action romance thriller, but he’s kind of the damsel in distress. Jewel of the Nile is the sequel. That’s good too. But Romancing is excellent. It was compared to Indiana Jones, but it was actually written by a lady years before Indy came out.
The Romancing the Stone reaction is on Patreon now, coming to youtube soon.
Another subscriber that thinks you'll love this movie. Great romance story and the writing is excellent
So many of these actors were in the West Wing! Aaron Sorkin is one of those that tends to bring back a lot of his favorite actors in each thing he makes.
Fourth of July tradition for me is a baseball game with a hot dog and soft pretzel. If there isn’t one in town, then I go to a hot dog place and get one with lots of stuff on it.
